The Shining Manor and Mad Jack

[You nodded, agreeing to Katelinna's request.]

[Seeing you agree, Katelinna brightened and hurriedly gave you a brief introduction to the manor.]

[This manor was built several hundred years ago. It had once been a tourist destination, most famous for its red maples in autumn, hence its name, Red Maple Manor.]

[But before the manor was built, this site had always been a convent-or rather, an orphanage. Kind nuns accepted charitable donations and took in nearby orphans, raising them to adulthood.]

[This should have been a place that symbolized kindness and goodness, but for some unknown reason, "Flashbacks" kept occurring in the orphanage...]

["Flashbacks?" you interrupted Katelinna, somewhat puzzled.]

["Yes. Anyone who entered would randomly see fragments of scenes flashing before them. These scenes were disjointed, with neither beginnings nor endings. Some took place in the past, others in the future, but they were often utterly terrifying. Those who stayed here for a long time became jumpy, and many even developed mental illnesses. Outsiders therefore called it the 'Shining Orphanage,' the 'Haunted Orphanage,' and so on. Because of its bad reputation, fewer and fewer charitable people were willing to donate, and the orphanage gradually closed down and fell into disuse."]

["Later, another financial backer took over the land, tore down the orphanage, and turned it into Red Maple Manor. However, people soon discovered that even after it became a beautiful manor, those who entered still occasionally saw those strange Flashback scenes. Worse still, a horrific murder later occurred here. The deceased was the manor's owner himself. It was said that he brutally dismembered his wife and two daughters in the manor, then killed himself... After that, this place was completely abandoned and became a derelict manor..."]
